Laughter can help to fight depression.
Since laughter reduces stress hormones and increases endorphins, it’s a great way to create a positive mental state.
This improved mental state is a natural way to combat falling into depression.
The issue is that most people who are depressed just don’t feel like laughing, but it can be exactly what they need.
So when feeling depressed, the ideal thing to do would be to surround yourself with people who make you laugh.
And if you can’t do that, watching a comedy show and making yourself sit through the whole thing will often turn you around.
